Sword and Sorcery was too grungy and if someone got dirt on my +1 Jordans, they were going to wish i just stabbed them.Eastside Bats Forever, baby.Northside Cats suck.Southside Rats are snitches.Because a good percentage of the population likes to feel they are the main target audience. I won't even say it's that this is a natural human reaction. Not automatic, but very common. Some don't want to share. Some want 7 slices to your 1. Some 5 to 3. Some 4 to 4. Some don't care as long as they get the most. And many are fine with not the target.You see it in many fandoms. The thing become popular and suddenly people don't want to accommodate newcomers.And it gets funny when it interacts with the desire to be popular. You get fans who both wants their thing to get popular but don't want to do anything that people outside the group would like.Although I am in the minority that believes 5e's success was a lot of luck. 5e  catered to every group but so weakly. It heavily relies on the group or DM doing the heavy lifting due to the slow publication schedule and few variants. So it really feels like exaggeration when it comes to the fight over the pie.</blockquote>
